This exploration of identity, belonging, and the importance of primary sources is thought-provoking and relevant. Youssef's journey of self-discovery, as he learns to navigate a new culture and embrace his unique perspective, is a powerful message that will resonate with readers of all ages. The story also highlights the importance of critical thinking and questioning established narratives, as Youssef challenges the accuracy of the encyclopedia and seeks out the truth for himself.

The story introduces the listener to Moses Yale Beach, founder of the Associated Press. It is a narrative portrayal of fictional individuals and events in Wallingford in the 1990s. It is derived from a true Moses Yale Beach student story and a publishing mystery related to Mr. Beach’s date of birth. While the characters and events in The Check Minus are imaginary, all references to geography, religion, and history are true. All references to Moses Yale Beach are factual. 

Who, What, When, Why because when you are here the Where is always Wallingford.
